Asian Imperial Banking History
Editors: Hubert Bonin, Nuno Valério and Kazuhiko Yago
When European powers began annexing parts of Asia, the
establishment of banking systems was an important part of that
process. The essays in this edited collection are based on original
research using primary sources in English, French, Russian,
Chinese and Japanese. The book as a whole provides new insights
into banking in imperial Asia and a platform for further research.
